I use RtabMap for mapping, an EKF for odometry and nav2 for autonomous movement. Everything works, but RtabMap doesn't compensate odometry drift in the map->odom transform. The odom frame is always glued to the map frame. I have set publish_tf to true, and map is being generated which looks good, until odometry drift means it doesn't anymore. Would love for Rtabmap to compensate that drift.

Running ROS2 Foxy, feeding RtabMap with 2 RGBD cameras. Built from source, using tag 0.20.15-foxy.

It is like no loop closures are detected or accepted. There should be warnings in terminal when loop closures a rejected, telling why. IF you can share the database, we can take a look to see if rtabmap indeed missed or rejected some loop closures.
